Luftslottet som sprängdes

The third and final part in the Millennium series picks up where Flickan som lekte med elden/The Girl Who Played With Fire ended. Lisbeth Salander survives being buried alive, but her troubles are far from over. Powerful forces want to silence her once and for all.

Meanwhile, Mikael Blomkvist delves into Salander’s hidden past and soon is hot on the trail of the truth. He starts writing a revealing report that will clear Lisbeth Salander’s name and shake the government, the security services, and the entire country down to its foundations. At last, there’s a chance for Lisbeth Salander to settle with her past and an opportunity for justice – real justice – to prevail.

Stieg Larsson’s final book in his celebrated Millennium series is a top-notch political thriller.

Press voices:

“The new, and final, novel is more than 700 pages. There aren’t many people who can make every one of them into such entertaining reading. But Larsson manages it. That is a great achievement, and is one of the reasons for the incredible success of the books.” Magnus Persson, Svenska Dagbladet

“Of course you know that the third part of Stieg Larsson’s ‘Millenium Series’ is good. Not to say hellishly good. Just the fact of writing 700 pages without a single boring passage, without a single bit that feels superfluous. The sections hook into each other, and I just lie there reading, keeping an eye on the clock and knowing that I ought to go to sleep, but just a little bit more... And it is like that all the way through the book.” Anders Wennberg, Gefle Dagblad

“It is a master’s work, the way Stieg Larsson manages to stay so consistently hard-boiled. /.../ it is fantastic that such massive amounts of text as Stieg Larsson’s sell at all, and do so at a time when otherwise all the more forced PR is generated to sell increasingly mediocre books...” Maria Küchen, Expressen

“It is said that all good things come in threes, and in this case that certainly applies. The third part of Stieg Larsson’s series about the imaginary magazine ‘Millennium’ is quite simply the best.” Jonas Brefält, Värmlands Folkblad

“Stieg Larsson gives the reader a skilfully and effectively written thriller with an impressive pace in the action – and that is something we have got used to. Once you start reading, you are caught and can’t escape.” Zoran Alagic, Norrköpings Tidningar

“What particularly impresses, is Stieg Larsson’s talent for holding together the sometimes rather complicated plot with its many threads. His knowledge of the subject is enormous, and he has absolutely caught the pulse of the times. This is not simply a crime thriller, but also a description of Sweden today.” Kjell Nylund, Eskilstuna Kuriren

“I can but join in with the choir singing the praise of Stieg Larsson’s final book in the Millenium trilogy. My expectations were high, but they were met and more than so.” Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet
